Chapter 245 -245 Threat

“Oh, are you threatening me?” Zhong Niangyao’s smile remained unchanged. “If so, there’s no need to continue, I already understand.”

“Lady Zhong, that’s not what I meant,” Kong Fangming’s face changed slightly. “But don’t you think you’ve gone a bit too far? Although what my bodyguard did was inappropriate, weren’t your actions a bit too ruthless?”

“So, Mr. Kong, you’ve come today to stand up for your bodyguard?” Zhong Niangyao deliberately misconstrued Kong Fangming’s words. “However, I think I’ve been quite merciful! I didn’t even take his life, how can I be considered ruthless?”

She naturally understood that what Kong Fangming was really talking about were his own troubles and not the matter with the bodyguard. But since the other party was unwilling to clarify, she felt even less need to guess and ponder deeply.

Kong Fangming’s face turned dark in an instant, but he also understood that the solution must come from the instigator. Zhong Niangyao was the one who caused his troubles, so now only she could resolve them. Therefore, no matter how aggrieved he felt inside, he had to endure it.

“Lady Zhong, let’s not beat around the bush,” Kong Fangming stopped beating around the bush. “The supernatural events happening to me, they were your doing, right?”

“Lady Zhong, what happened yesterday was indeed my fault; I offended you. However, you weren’t injured, were you? So why stir things up to such an extent? Let’s just be friends—let bygones be bygones. Of course, I’ve also prepared a gift as an apology, please kindly accept it.”

He had no desire to experience what occurred last night a second time.

At the Gambling Stone Market, learning of Zhong Niangyao’s capabilities, coupled with her stunning beauty, had indeed moved him. So he had people go directly to invite her. Although it was an invitation, when necessary, some tactics were unavoidable.

This was naturally not the first time he had done such a thing. However, many people willingly came to meet him after learning of his identity. Of course, for those who were unwilling, the consequences were foreseeable.

But he hadn’t expected that Zhong Niangyao was so capable. So, he had no plans to continue provoking her. After all, in this world, there are some people with abilities beyond ordinary folks. As for those people, it is best not to offend if it can be avoided.

As for the bodyguard, he didn’t take it too seriously and only instructed someone to send over money enough for a worry-free life.

Of course, he knew about Zhong Niangyao’s threat before she left. However, he wasn’t too concerned because he had never shown his face from the beginning, and even the bodyguard only had a vague idea. So he wasn’t worried about Zhong Niangyao’s so-called revenge.

But last night, as soon as he fell asleep, he started having continuous nightmares, seeing those he had wronged. In the dreams, those people used various methods to torment him, and he had no power to resist. He tried to escape but was trapped in the same place. What was worst was that in the dreams, he could feel the pain.

He knew it was a dream, but he couldn’t wake up, no matter how he tried.

Only when he opened his eyes again did he realize he was still lying in bed, with no wounds on his body. But the pain from last night’s dreams was still vivid.

At that moment, he couldn’t help but recall Zhong Niangyao’s previous threat.

Abiding by the principle of “better safe than sorry,” he immediately sent someone to investigate everything about Zhong Niangyao. Later, he prepared many generous gifts and personally went to apologize.

He didn’t want to go through last night’s experience ever again.

“So just because there was no harm done, should we let bygones be bygones, is that it?” Zhong Niangyao spoke with a cold smile, “I find people like you quite laughable. Being unharmed is a testament to my ability. Should I be magnanimous to all those who attempt to harm me just because I am capable?”

“Now I really want to ask you, Mr. Kong, if someone were to attempt to harm you now but was stopped by your bodyguard, would you let bygones be bygones as if nothing ever happened?”

“How could that be possible?” Kong Fangming blurted out instinctively before realizing that what he said didn’t seem quite right, and he hastily tried to correct himself, “I didn’t mean that.”

“Then what do you mean?” Zhong Niangyao asked with a mocking smile, “Mr. Kong, it’s better not to be too hypocritical in life.”

Kong Fangming’s face turned from green to purple, but he couldn’t muster any words of rebuttal.

He felt somewhat comforted by the fact that this was a presidential suite with only two guest rooms, so his current embarrassment wouldn’t be seen by too many people.

“Mr. Kong, please leave,” Zhong Niangyao made a gesture to show him out. “I believe with your status and position, it shouldn’t be difficult to resolve your problem.”

“Since Lady Zhong is unwilling, I won’t insist,” Kong Fangming looked at Zhong Niangyao and spoke through gritted teeth. “However, Lady Zhong, it’s not good to be too arrogant, especially since you are on someone else’s turf right now. If something unfortunate really happens, it will be your family who will be saddened.”

“Mr. Kong, are you threatening me?” Zhong Niangyao’s smile remained, but her eyes grew colder. “You are welcome to try and see whether your local snake is more powerful or my own abilities are superior. However, I must remind you of one thing. I like to settle scores separately, one by one. So, next time, I’m not even clear myself what methods I will use.”

With those words, Kong Fangming’s face became even uglier, but at the same time, he dismissed the thought of retaliating against Zhong Niangyao.

Just moments ago, he had resolved not to let Zhong Niangyao off the hook since he was suffering. Now, her words had brought him back to his senses.

Previously, Zhong Niangyao had retaliated against him without even having met him. If there were to be a next time, he didn’t know how he would fare.

The thought of his bodyguard’s fate made him shiver.

However, since Zhong Niangyao was unwilling to let him off, he could only look for another master. He had power and influence; he didn’t believe he couldn’t invite these masters.

Once he solved his current problem, he wouldn’t let Zhong Niangyao off.
